When I connect a USB device into my USB 3 ports, the computer does not recognize that a device has been inserted but the device will receive power. However, the USB 2 port recognizes devices connected to it. Is there a driver that I am missing? My laptop is in my signature and I have BIOS A03

There's a separate driver for USB 3 as I recall, because Windows 7 doesn't currently have it as a standard driver like USB 2, I'll see if I can find more information on this before someone else might.

Oh OK, what is the driver called from the Dell downloads page do you know?

Unfortunately going over the Dell drivers page reveals not a peep, but I can tell you what the USB root hub is called. Googling if all else fails will probably yield results.
It's called 'Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller'. Good luck from there, hopefully you can find a working driver. I doubt the chipset drivers have it, but maybe I am wrong. -
well, there is a NEC USB3.0 driver under the mouse and KB section (just browsing into the m14x download page - not using service tag).

Yes, that is the driver. I have been able to get about 100mb/s with those ports and a 3.0 enclosure
